If Atlanta, Georgia is written as (33°N, 84°W), which number represents latitude?

1 answer

In the coordinates (33°N, 84°W), the number representing latitude is 33°N. Latitude is measured north or south of the equator, and it is indicated by the "N" (for north) or "S" (for south) designation. In this case, 33°N indicates that Atlanta is 33 degrees north of the equator.
